BTW Intel Core i5 4460 3.2GHz RM599?
Thot RM579

Dear sifus,

I need recommendation from you all.
Preferably Intel and Nvidia-based.

Budget : 3.5 to 3.7k
Purpose : Gaming, multasking, streaming, movies
Hardwares that will be re-used : Elite 311 casing, keyboard & mouse, DVD Drive
Games & softwares that use frequently : BF4, Fifa 15 and other most recent games
Location : Kuala Lumpur

I have the following in mind:
Proc : Intel i5 4690 / 4690K
Graphic card : Nvidia GTX970 (read review about MSI GTX970 Gaming 4G is quite good)
PSU : Seasonic (Seasonic S12G-650 650W or Seasonic S12II 80 620W better?)
HDD : 1TB
RAM : 8GB
Monitor : 23 or 24 inch (preferably not Dell S2340L as the screen is reflective. I am using it in my office)

Thank you.

The tp link is it a usb adapter or a network card?? I prefer atx mobo and furthermore if i pay by cash does it entitle me to get a lot cheaper hehe

I thought it's RM599,but it's actually RM619.

Are you gonna overclock?

CPU:Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3 3.4GHz RM819
MoBo:Asrock H97-Pro4 RM329
GPU:Gainward GTX970 4GB GDDR5 RM1099
RAM:Kingston Value RAM 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RM244
HDD:WD Caviar Blue 1TB RM174
PSU:Seasonic S12II 620W 80+ Bronze RM299
Monitor:LG 23MP65HQ RM549
Total:RM3513
Optional:Intel 530 Series 120GB RM259
GPU is from IdealTech,the rest are from Viewnet@LYP.

Difference is only the 80+ Gold and 80+ Bronze,AFAIK.Former comes at RM409 though.
Also,the MSI GTX970 Gaming 4GB GDDR5 is priced at RM1499..that's gonna over your budget.

I saw some review saying that overclocking CPU does not really boost the performance, unless overclocking the GPU.
Correct me if I am wrong.
If I want to overclock CPU, the mobo also needs to be changed to z97?
Since it is just around 600W, a 80+ Bronze will be enough or a 80+ Gold (better but that would be up to my budget right?)?

Sorry for asking so many questions at once. Really need your experience here.
